Hey Guys,
Well I had a play today with my mini, after a mini break of say 1year (if I told the truth I'd become upset) which was very satisfying.

But... I don't know whether to love or hate that after quite a break that the pain in arse job that seemed impossible to do, now that I came back too was very easy.
It always seems to go that way for me, I think I love that it does actually, otherwise I'd give up for good.
I'm sure you all know what I mean, one example is the rubber seals on the little triangle window, get frustrated as F CK and then walk away and leave for 30min/day come back and it all goes together piece of piss.

Oh yeah, the bad side that I hate. Well if only it had of gone like this in the first place, maybe i would have been tearin it up in a mini for the last two years!!!

I've just got to keep the momentum now Thatta way

This is why you need two or three cars....

One that always works and you dont worry too much on it being perfect

One you work on

And one that you can always say "one day I will get to you"


Its how I work... that way I have my love and my hate and my frustration and my excitement all in the one garage

WHS ^^^^

There is nothing worse than rushing a job on a weeknight just so you can get to work the next morning. It just causes frustration and damage.

I recall struggling to fit a new bottom radiator hose to my Deluxe as a teen. I got so mad I threw the hose as hard as I could, slammed the garage door and walked away. I went back three hours later, retrieved the hose from the back of the garage and it slipped on easily.
